Smash
Fashion is a totally new band and feature Johnny Depp’s old band plus a few
others like Roger Deering on guitar and vocals. The rest of the band is Tony
Kinman (bass), Repo Kauppila (drums), and Lloyd Casson (lead guitar), so of
which you might recognize from other bands….. a bloke named Nigel Mogg, plays
bass on three of the tracks as well. Anyway, the CD features 12 tracks of high
energy retro glam influences with a lot of attitude, clichés and rock and roll.
The lyrical themes are quite funny, real life LA and catchy and I have to say
many of the lyrics are quite cleaver like on Just a Kiss at the Starting Line
(A love song!), Slam Glam, Blame it on the Brandy (drinking song) and Big Cat
Love… Anyway, this is a fun rock and roll record but the band are not breaking
any new ground. They have made a solid, fun, happy semi-commerical record with
a lot of catchy songs. It’s only Rock and Roll and I like it, attitude.. Check
these cats out…..
